The American Revolution As indicated in the last cause, the enlightenment affected the American evolution significantly. Nevertheless, whatever great neglect to notice, French was greatly affected by the American Revolution. Following many French’s donations to help the American patriarchs, this eventually turned French into the state of bankruptcy.
